Officially Licensed US Navy Naval Weapons Test Squadron Point Mugu Patch — NWTS Point Mugu Embroidered Patch
Point Mugu — where the Navy's weapons prove themselves.
The Naval Weapons Test Squadron (NWTS) at Point Mugu, California, is a critical component of the Navy's weapons testing infrastructure, responsible for conducting live-fire testing and evaluation of naval weapons systems over the Pacific Missile Range. Located at Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu's test range extends hundreds of miles over the Pacific Ocean, providing the space and instrumentation needed to test the most advanced missiles, electronic warfare systems, and sensors in the Navy's arsenal.
NWTS Point Mugu operates and maintains the Pacific Missile Range Facility's test infrastructure, supporting weapons tests for every branch of the military and multiple allied nations. The squadron's personnel launch target drones, operate range instrumentation, and support the live-fire testing of air-to-air missiles, surface-to-air missiles, and electronic warfare systems that must prove their capability under realistic conditions before reaching the fleet. Point Mugu has been at the center of naval weapons development since the earliest days of guided missile technology, and NWTS continues that tradition by ensuring every weapons system that enters the fleet has been rigorously tested on their ranges.
This patch represents the test warriors of Point Mugu.
Perfect For: NWTS Point Mugu personnel, Pacific Missile Range veterans, naval weapons test community members, and military test range collectors.
Proving the weapons — Point Mugu.
